There also will be tributes presented to Ora McCain Barrett, director of the former Hanson Community Center, and Mildred Payne, housing manager of the housing complex.

Both women served the Kimmelbrook neighborhood and residents.

Since its founding, CCE has provided Child Enrichment Day Care and Preschool Program, after-school programming and the NewBirth Project Re-entry Initiative, which is designed especially for the ex-offender population.

The programs, among the many other services provided by CCE, are community resources.
